EAST YORK BASKETBALL ACTION: Joshua Davis, left, saves the ball from going out of bounds during East York Basketball Association midget house league opening day action at Cosburn Middle School on Saturday. The co-ed houseleague program is aimed at skills development of players in a fun environment.

An East York street in February of this year. A bus on Spadina Avenue some 15 years earlier. Both were scenes of tragedies people say didn’t need to happen, both places where men in the grip of a mental health crisis were shot dead by police. Next Wednesday at 6 p.m., a comparison will be made between what happened to Edmond Yu in 1997 and Michael Eligon in 2012 as a 2003 film, Crisis Call, is screened at the Toronto Public Library’s Danforth/ Coxwell branch. Filmmaker Laura Sky says Eligon’s death shows how to deal with people in a psychiatric crisis is still an unresolved issue today. “It tells you we have not yet addressed this issue seriously,” agreed Beaches-East York Councillor Janet Davis this week, adding Eligon’s shooting prompted many in her community to “really ask questions” about the relationship

between police and the health care system and how such deaths can be prevented. Yu was on a TTC bus when police, responding to reported assaults nearby, saw he was carrying a small hammer and shot him. Crisis Call says what happened to Yu was “not an isolated event” and suggests people having such a crisis could be better handled by “people without guns.” “Have the police become the new frontline mental health workers?” Sky’s film asks. Eligon was admitted to Toronto East General Hospital for a 72-hour mental health assessment, but wandered away. He was wearing a hospital gown and carrying two pairs of scissors when he was shot by police on Milverton Boulevard. “The incident was tragic for everyone involved,” Davis said, adding on that day professionals who could have de-escalated the situation simply were not there. >>>TALK, page 3

A construction milestone was celebrated at Bridgepoint Health with the opening of a new parking garage at the hospital recently for complex chronic disease and disability. This step means Bridgepoint Health has now taken partial occupancy of its new hospital after three years of construction.

“Today marks the first of many for us at Bridgepoint,” said Marian Walsh, Bridgepoint Health’s president and CEO, in a release. “Almost a decade ago we recognized an emerging need for patients requiring complex chronic care and envisioned a campus specifically designed to meet the needs of this growing population. With the opening of the new parking garage, it signifies that we are very close to having

this vision become a reality.” The new 600,000-square-foot, 10-storey hospital, located in the heart of Riverdale at the north west corner of Broadview Avenue and Gerrard Street adjacent to Riverdale Park East, is expected to open in about six month’s time. The former Don Jail is also in the midst of being renovated and will also reopen this spring as new administrative offices.

SEPTEMBER SALES EVENT Scarborough

>>>from page 1 An hour before the Sept. 26 library event, Davis and a delegation of residents and police will appear at the downtown office of the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network, which funds health care services in East York, to ask for a local Mobile Crisis Intervention Team. Toronto East General Hospital is applying – for the third time – for such a team. Each combines specially-trained police officers with a psychiatric nurse and are meant, says the description of one working with St. Michael’s Hospital, “to assess needs, intervene, de-escalate and ensure connection to appropriate services” following 911 calls about a person “experiencing a psychiatric or emotional crisis requiring intervention to ensure safety.” An MCIT with The Scarborough Hospital is able to reach all of Scarborough and the St. Michael’s team covers an area west of the Don Valley. East General, however, doesn’t have such support, said Davis, despite having the second-busiest emergency room in Toronto. Community response to the death of Eligon prompted a campaign to convince the LHIN to cover the estimated $315,000 cost of a team, she said. “It was time we put some effort into advocacy to make it happen.” Sky said a crisis team “is certainly a better model than sending in the tactical unit” but such supports aren’t always there. In the 15 years since Yu was shot, police training has improved, at least for some, she said, but though there are “pockets of learning” on police forces, what happens to the person in psychiatric crisis depends on the values, experience and confidence of the officer in charge of the situation. While crisis workers do operate in the city, Sky said when police are the first responders, people in a psychiatric crisis are just as likely transferred to a jail and a hearing in mental health court as they are to go to a hospital. After next Wednesday’s screening, Sky will lead a discussion at the library with Michael Armstrong, a mental health activist and author, and Doug Pritchard, who witnessed the shooting of Eligon.

Back to school, back to talking about transit N

ot only are students across Toronto back in school, but all the politicians who represent the city – municipally, provincially and federally – are packing their fancy new lunch boxes and pressing their clothes to get back to business. And there is one issue that should speak loudest for Torontonians: transit. And our view not just public transit, but cars, bicycles, and every other way we Toronto must get around the city. The very nature of public transit is one where individual neigh- commit to bourhoods and geographies can’t transit vision be individually satisfied, but necessitates working toward a common vision and plan. In these pages, we have called for a national transit strategy, not just ad hoc funding that bends with the wind. We have called for the provincial government to take back running the Toronto Transit Commission, alleviating the strain on municipal coffers. And to that end, we’ve called on everyone who sits on city council to stop arguing about a transit vision and commit to one so Toronto can be the world-class city it can be. All you have to do is travel the streets and highways of Toronto to see how busy they have become since school has started up. The summer, a respite for many, has come to an end and the crowds of students – from primary to university – are on the streets, and with them come many parents in their vehicles. Summer vacations are over so those Torontonians (and to greater extent Ontarians as a whole) are also back on the streets, highways and public transit slowing everything down. With these increased volumes, everyone across the city should keep up the pressure on all levels of government to treat the transit issue as more than just a one-off discussion. Getting from one end of the city to the other has become noticeably difficult, downright impossible some times, and that’s without adding the recent difficulties when the Gardiner Expressway is closed for the weekend, the Toronto International Film Festival bringing more people into the city core, and various festivals shutting down streets. It’s easy for politicians to lose track of the transit issue when dealing with their individual portfolios and concerns, but if we hope to one day have a solid transit solution for such a large and growing city, we must keep their political feet to the fire and make sure the topic never disappears from their radars.

To the editor: If you are going to a garage sale, don’t steal from the people who are hosting it. They work hard to get it all set up. I have had jewelry stolen at my garage sale and we are getting to a point where we are not going to have them any more if people are going to steal from us. Ask to purchase the item for less or don’t buy it, but don’t steal from a garage sale. People are trying to make a bit of cash with their stuff they are already getting rid of at a great price. If you are that hard up for something, go on welfare. Remember, it is still a crime stealing from a garage sale. Police can be involved. Dorothy Hicks

Which business model is best for running Toronto?

here has been a lot of discussion lately about governance and leadership qualities when talk turns to municipal politics, particularly when certain personalities are involved. The people driving this discussion clearly have an underlying assumption in their arguments that government should run more like a successful business. It is an attractive argument for some people, as businesses present the appearance of being operated with more financial discipline and managerial accountability than our governments. Certainly, anyone who has watched the running of city council when budgets are discussed walks away from the experience shaking their head at the apparent irrationality of the process. Yet, what does it really mean to say a city should be run more like a business?

watchdog

Joe Cooper

There is not just one type of business, but in fact, there is a wide range of management styles available, often with the most unorthodox or liberal ones being the most successful. More importantly, if you do run a government as a business, who is your market and how are you going to satisfy them? When talking about a city as a business, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg once said, “If New York City is a business, it isn’t WalMart – it isn’t trying to be the lowest-priced product in the market.” You will find that business philosophy is true of all of America’s large cities, which

discovered a long time ago the only way they could survive was by being expensive. If you look at which cities in the United States are attracting new business and creating jobs, the majority are those with populations around 500,000. One of the best places to live and do business today is in Riverside, California, which has a population of 300,000 and a job growth rate of six per cent annually. What is more important about these prosperous small cities is that due to their lower operating costs they are less expensive to live in, so wealth is distributed more evenly. Another reason these smaller cities are proving to be more successful is they have the cultural amenities that attract the brightest, the more capable and the most innovative. Once they have attracted them, they provide a place where people can prosper

in more ways than simple economic survival. The reality is that large cities such as New York are only friendly to those who are already successful in their field, and are legendary in the way they beat down those who are struggling or who fail. So yes, our municipal government needs to be reformed, and good business practices would contribute greatly to its success. However, let us be very careful about which business model we employ, for turning Metro Toronto into a megacity has made no real business sense at all. We once had six municipalities of the correct size for proven economic success, but squandered their potential in order to have bragging rights about how big we are. n Joe Cooper is a longtime East York resident and community activist.

JUSTIN SKINNER jskinner@insidetoronto.com Old tires may not seem like the most sustainable items out there, but thanks to an initiative by the Ontario Tire Stewardship (OTS), Evergreen Brick Works and two Humber College grads, the public is catching a glimpse of their potential. The students, Gloria Perez and Jessica Gafic, designed a new space at the Brick Works using recycled tire products as a surface. Titled “On the Riverbank,” the space consists largely of tires that have been converted into a walking surface. “These types of projects get at the heart of how simple ideas can be impactful and important,” said Brick Works executive director Geoff Cape. Perez and Gafic, both of whom are recent Humber College interior design grads, won a competition among Ontario post-secondary students for the honour of being able to design the space. The duo also took home

The path is made of springy SofSURFACES tiles, which are created out of recycled tires. The climbing areas and even the mulch also make use of recycled rubber. Using recycled tires opened the graduates’ eyes to the possibilities that can be opened up when a little ingenuity is applied to an item many believe to be destined for landfill. Flooding issues

Humber College grads Gloria Perez (left) and Jessica Gafic showcase their winning entry in a competition to create a space at Evergreen Brick Works using recycled tires.

$3,000 in prize money. “I was always an advocate of sustainability, but this pushed us in a different direction,” Perez said. “Being interior designers, we typically

think about interior design, so it was a challenge designing an outdoor space.” On the Riverbank includes a wide, light blue path that mimics the shape and

colour of Mud Creek, along with rubberized climbing areas for children, mulch, red maples and perennials.

“It made me wonder what can happen to other things we use every day and how they can be incorporated and recycled,” Gafic said. The fast-draining, moldand-mildew-resistant rubberized surfaces are particularly beneficial for an area such as the Brick Works, which has experienced flooding in the past. OTS executive director Andrew Horsman said the winning design was selected from a pool of 17 entries, all of which came from college

and university students. He outlined the challenges facing the design teams, who had to create their designs using at least 40 per cent recycled rubber products. “(Competitors) were told what the sightlines were and given a video tour, and we talked as well about how the space is used,” he said. “If it was only used as a play place, that would mean different parameters than something that’s used for play and for leisure but that also has to accommodate having five-ton trucks driven over it, which is the case with this space.” For Gafic, seeing the design she helped create actually installed at the Brick Works makes what was already a special place for her even more special. “I did my wedding pictures here and I usually come here with my dog,” she said. “That’s why we were both interested (in the competition); we both use (Brick Works.)”

Plenty of books have been written about Wayne Gretzky, but none about one of the greatest female hockey legends of all time; until now. East York born and raised author Tom Bartsiokas who now lives in Riverdale has co-authored an authorized biography on 47-year-old Angela James who grew up in Flemingdon Park. The community arena, where she first started playing hockey with the boys, in the absence at the time of any girls’ leagues, was named in her honour in 2009. In 2010, she was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame along with American star Cammi Granato, famously breaking the hall’s long-held gender barrier. She’s also in just about every other hockey hall of fame that matters, inducted into the IIHF (International Ice Hockey Federation) Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008 (also breaking the gender barrier along with Granato and fellow Canadian Geraldine Heaney, who grew up in Weston), and the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 2009. Bartsiokas wrote the book, Angela James: The First Superstar of Canadian Women’s Hockey, which is already available online and expected to be in stores in late September, with Cory Long who grew up in Alliston and now lives in Newmarket. Both authors work at Seneca College, as does James. Bartsiokas is a writer and editor in the communications department and Long is an administrator and part-time teacher as well as a writer and editor for the alumni publication RED; James is a senior sports co-ordinator. One of Bartsiokas’ jobs at the college is to profile success stories amongst faculty, staff and students. And one of the names that was continually popping up on his desk over the years, he said, was that of James. “It seemed every year she would be receiving a new accolade,” said Bartsiokas, who went to Leaside High School, and prior to

that Westwood Middle School. “The name was familiar but I didn’t really know the level of accomplishment she achieved in the sport of hockey until I started doing some more digging. The more research I conducted the more impressed I was with her. And then when I found out there wasn’t an actual biography dedicated to her, I thought, well, wait, we have to remedy this.” He brought his work colleague into the project as co-author because they share a love of sports, and because he had also shared his interest in writing a book. “Both of us have young families, both of us work full time and it made sense to collaborate together to tell the story, so we approached Angela and kind of caught her off guard a little bit,” said Bartsiokas. “Funny thing is, all her friends and family over the years always told her, ‘You have to write a book with all the stories you’ve got.’ And so we approached her and she was for it.” James was in her prime throughout the 1990s, racking up huge offensive numbers for both the Canadian national team and for her club teams, mostly with the North York-based Aeros. The worst moment of her distinguished career didn’t come until the twilight years when the then-33-year-old veteran, in a still controversial decision, was left off the 1998 inaugural Canadian women’s Olympic team. “It’s amazing what she accomplished considering all the obstacles that were in her way,” said Bartsiokas “She grew up in a single-family home raised by her mother, money was scarce. Hockey for her was an escape and she threw herself into it. She lived and breathed hockey, and early on she taught herself how to play. It wasn’t really until she got to the competitive level that she was taken under the wings by her coaches who taught her systems.” With his first book under his belt, Bartsiokas said he’d love to take on another project. “I think I have another one in me. I’m a huge, huge sports fan. I’m always attracted to underdog stories and to stories that inspire.”

The cheese doesn’t stand alone

Open Mike Jam Session

An international cheese plate is all the rage at dinner parties as a pre-dinner appetizer paired with complementary wines. It’s also gaining in popularity as a postdinner replacement for dessert paired with a sweeter wine like ice wine that happens to be a specialty of the nearby Niagara region. It’s suggested that when you’re putting together a cheese plate to pick three to five different varieties and go for a range of milks to truly have variety, including cow, goat and sheep. You should also consider style – is it runny, stinky, firm, nutty? One of each would be ideal. Pre-cut the cheese and arrange is on a large platter with labels or individual cheese plates for each guest. Be sure to get the cheese to room temperature before serving – take it out about an hour before you decide to serve it. You should also offer a palate cleanser like fruit, crackers or nuts so that cheese flavours don’t meld together. With more than 80,000 different products and 40,000 of those just in grocery, you can rest assured that Sunny Foodmart in North York offers the largest variety of groceries in the area with 35,000 square feet to fill with everything from fresh produce to halal meat and fresh fish to spices from around the world. What you might not expect and what many grocery stores overlook is an extensive dairy section – particularly local and international cheeses and very reasonable prices. The dairy department also offers organic milk and halal cheese that’s

Opinion

Community housing report stands chance of success W ith all the gridiron drama unfolding in Mayor Rob Ford’s life, it’s often easy to forget that the City of

Toronto has a life beyond the mayor’s, and often beyond the mayor’s reach. On Monday, Davenport Councillor Ana Bailao

provided evidence of that when she unveiled the long-awaited report into dealing with the Toronto Community Housing

Corporation’s daunting backlog of repairs and maintenance. The report, titled Putting People First, is something of a repudiation of one of Mayor Ford’s early triumphs this term, when he led the wholesale gutting of the TCHC board of directors and put ally and former councillor Case Ootes in place as a one-person board. As a councillor under former mayors Mel Lastman and David Miller, Ootes had been a sharp critic of the TCHC’s stock of more than 600 singlefamily homes. His view had been if Toronto Community Housing’s apartments and townhouses were crumbling, the city shouldn’t be putting up tenants in large, comfortable pieces of real estate. With Mayor Ford’s support, Ootes made the case once more as the singular board of the TCHC, and before he handed over control to the newly-appointed board, set the wheels in motion for a sell-off of that housing — in the course

THE CITY

david nickle

of it, potentially displacing subsidized tenants. When it came to council earlier this year, councillors balked — and in a compromise set up the task force and put Bailao in charge of finding other ways to raise the $751 million needed to erase the backlog. The new plan is much more modest. It would sell off at least 55 houses, and no more than 155 homes (with up to 100 going to tenants themselves) and look elsewhere for the money for the repair. Those tenants that would be displaced in the much more modest sell-off would be relocated to other city-owned homes in their home neighbourhood, minimizing displacement. The housing company would otherwise look to remortgaging, bond-funding

and simple efficiencies to dig into the repair backlog. Really, inasmuch as it might fit with his world view, all of this is tangential to the mayor’s agenda. In making the appointment of Ootes to run the housing company, Ford really gave an old ally an opportunity to eradicate one of his pet peeves while on council. The solution that came forward — essentially a one-time influx of an insufficient amount of cash, coupled with the removal of stock that might be seen as a little too fancy for the sorts of people who end up in affordable housing — was something council as a whole couldn’t stomach. Bailao’s report, focussing as it does on the well-being of even those tenants lucky enough to live in The Beach, stands a better chance. And so it is that the city trundles on, absent either the person or the politics of its self-immolating mayor. n David Nickle is the Mirror’s City Hall columnist.
